dotAstronomy day one

I arrived in Oxford today for the first day of the dotAstronomy meeting. I arrived too late today for the formal talks (these are only in the morning) but in the afternoon there was an absolutely great, wide-ranging, and detailed discussion of the technical, social, and career issues of huge data and big inference and machine-learning problems in astrophysics. The day ended with another wide-ranging conversation in the pub, especially about what we are all going to do in tomorrow's hack day.
